<br />Revenues
<br />
<br />All revenue items were evaluated based on current economic conditions and past trends. The
<br />most notable item is the proposed tax levy which
<br />equates to $164,494 in additional revenue over last
<br />year’s levy. Both Plan Check Fees and Plan
<br />Review/Building Permit Revenues have been
<br />increased based on trends. Fines and Forfeits have
<br />been increased as we had a decrease in past years with
<br />the major road construction, but we are seeing
<br />increases now that major highways are again open.
<br />
<br />Expenditures
<br />
<br />Public Safety is increased by $86,118 for increases in the Fire Contract ($28,173, 6.54%),
<br />Sheriff’s Contract ($48,829, 4.71%), and Dispatch ($9,116, 15.1%).
<br />
<br />Finance and Administrative Services is proposing to
<br />add back in the intern positions that were cut in 2014
<br />which is 0.75 FTE. TCAAP expenditures were
<br />increased for Other Professional Services,
<br />Administration reduced Other Professional Services by
<br />$8,000 to help offset. Due to the new calculations by
<br />the LMCIT, insurance costs have been adjusted based
<br />on 2014 actuals and reduced by $11,000.
